Son Little picks his all-time favorite songs for The 2020 Countdown

For the fall of 2020, WXPN is once again asking its audience to help choose the 2,020 greatest songs of all time. While the voting period is open, we’ve asked prominent Philadelphians and some of our favorite musicians to share their favorites to get us thinking about our lists. Today, we present a list from Son Little, who celebrated classics from the 60s and 70s (with some highlights from the 80s and 90s), for The 2020 Countdown. Check it out below and cast your vote here.
